Post Match Discussion - Elimination Final

How good was Viney...an absolute pest to their stars. You can just tell that he loves getting under the skin of Ablett, Selwood etc. 

I wasn’t sure how he would go last night but upon reflection a final was his perfect comeback game. He is built for finals - as hard as they come, manic attack on the ball and ball carrier and a real hunger for physicality. 

I thought he rely set the tone early and showed why he is a Captain of our great club. He oozed leadership and intensity in the opening minutes and really set the tone.

I bloody love the bloke!

    Such a great win last night, was a real grind at times, the one thing that i absolutely loved was just how tough we're now. We're Built for finals footy.  Unsure how many of you saw the Melbourne faithful cheering Roosey at the end of the game on Fox Footy.  You could see how emotional he was getting.  Was Brilliant.

     

    Go Dee's

    When lining up to get into the G, Roosy walked through to a massive cheer from everyone, he couldnt help himself he stopped and took it all in with a bit of a smirk on his face.

    Not a captain’s [censored] is Joel Selwood. Selfish self entitled little whining sook. M

    Massive error this one. Killed all their momentum. Hawkins losing his shot on goal as a result too, couldn’t have happened to a nicer [censored]. 

    I couldn’t sleep and I feel hung over. Didn’t even drink. Worth it.

    Just watched Chris Scott’s Press Conference. The guy is a complete [censored] in the coaches box, but his presser post game was all class.

    That was a huge moment. 

    That little gem happened on the Member's side in front of the i/change bench.  Hawkins was lining up for goal in front of the Southern stand from a spot  where he had kicked one earlier.  Umpire took the ball off Hawkins and paid a free against Selwood. 

    They had the momentum by keeping us goalless in the second quarter and if Hawkins kicked that goal the lead would have been just 15 points with nearly a half of footy still to play. 

    Selwood cost them the momentum and thereafter they lost structure and composure. 

    They looked like the Finals Rookies!!  

    Yep, a real Captain's game from Selwood!  In the past he got away with that stuff but not last night! 

     

    A very late edit:  Apparently, the free kick against Selwood was paid by the Emergency Umpire.  Didn't know that was allowed.  The guy deserves a medal.  Hope he umpires our games in future!

    It was clear that he decided during the half time break to rough us up.  Early in Q3 he was tackled by a Melb player (cant recall who) in a regulation no-damage tackle and Selwood went for him afterwards out of all proportion.   Good to see he carried on with that...

    What an incredible night. Felt like 75% Dees,  the noise and spirit in the G was unbelievable. 

    Seeing Dangerwood both lose their [censored] was just beautiful karma after their actions at the cattery.

    Got home at midnight,  cracked a cab sav and nearly teared up watching the replay!  Bed at 3!

    Could someone please remind me how many games has Melbourne won against fellow top 8 clubs?

    I know that is rhetorical but just for the record:  3 in the last 3  weeks!  If we add a small loss to Syd that would be 4 from 4! 

    Can't beat a top 8 side they say!  Well that and all the other negative narratives from the empty brained media commentators will no longer see the light of day. 

    A new day has dawned!

    My favourite anti Geelong moments was all the booing directed at Ablett in the second half.  Doubt he has heard that before!

    Some were saying he was past it a few months back and whilst he is no longer our most dominant mid (too much competition), I think Jonesy's last month has been awsome.  Just keeps going about it in a tough, uncompromising, workman like manner and has been bobbing up and ramming home some important goals. Recon guys like Harmes, Brayshaw and Olivet walk taller with him around.

    I won’t be happy unless we can double up on our current total of 3 by sesson’s End.

    Funny you say that.  I nearly wrote 3 down, 3 to go!  But a lingering tinge of MFCSS stopped me - you know the counting chickens thing...

    ...but I'm with you all the way FF!

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
